Western Massachusetts Could See Another Snowstorm This Weekend

Last year, Massachusetts saw its best winter for snowfall in years, much to the chagrin of many; however, skiers, winter sports enthusiasts, and plow drivers were happy to see the white stuff return. 2026 has also been a doozey, shaping up to far surpass last years snow totals and record low temperatures.

Over the past 15 years, Massachusetts has had the most snowfall in the state's history dating back to when the state started keeping records of snowfall in the late 1800's, according to Spada Law Group.

An average Massachusetts winter will bear a snowfall of 49.5 inches, but the amount each municipality gets is certainly based on where you live. Typically, this first significant snow in western Massachusetts occurs between late November and early December, and this winter it just hasn't stopped.
